1Meg squeezing bandwidth for the rest of us?

Just a thought, but since Telewest's 1 meg service started up in my area, I've had one or two go-slows. I am wondering if the extra bandwidth being used by the 1 megers is squeezing us "normal" broadband users a bit. After all, there's a limit to the amount of bandwidth actually available on cable, isn't there?

Your thoughts?
 
Don’t think so try changing the cache servers. I’m on their 1 mbit as well some times I find it too slow as well. Most of the time changing the cache server works.

If it doen’t work give them a call
 
I sure hope not! But then, a few times on the 600 kps service I have had downloads going down to only about 8KB instead of the usual 30 to 60.... maybe it's netlag, maybe it's whatever else I'm running at the time is slowing it down, but who knows, huh?!
